Graduate Tax Adviser

Work with clients in sport, film, entertainment and international business

Start Your Career in a Specialist Tax, Accountancy & Business Management Firm

We are looking for ambitious graduates to join our Tax team and build a career advising clients in the sport, film, entertainment and high net worth sectors.

Ground Control Business Management is not a typical accountancy firm. We operate as a business management and financial concierge service, supporting clients with complex financial, tax and lifestyle needs at every stage of their careers.

Our clients include internationally recognised individuals, entertainers, professional athletes, executives and business owners, often operating across multiple jurisdictions. This creates a unique and dynamic working environment, where no two client situations are the same.

If you are looking for a role that combines technical tax expertise with real world application in high profile industries, this is an opportunity to build a highly specialised and valuable career.

• Work on a diverse portfolio of clients across sport, entertainment and international business.
• Support tax compliance and advisory work for individuals and businesses.
• Gain exposure to international tax considerations and complex financial structures.
• Develop the ability to explain technical tax matters clearly to non-specialist clients.
• Build commercial awareness by understanding how tax impacts real world decisions.

You will be given early responsibility and encouraged to actively contribute, rather than simply observe.

• Working with high-performing individuals and dynamic industries.
• Developing skills in both tax and broader business management.
• Gaining exposure to international and high-net-worth client work.
• Building relationships and contributing to client outcomes from an early stage.

You will learn how tax advice fits within a wider commercial and personal financial strategy, giving you a broader and more valuable skillset than a typical accountancy pathway.

• Degree (2:1 or above) in any discipline.
• Strong GCSE Maths (or equivalent).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Think logically and apply common sense to problem-solving.
• Are naturally inquisitive and confident asking questions.
• Can explain complex ideas in a clear and simple way.
• Take ownership of their work and push themselves further.
• Work collaboratively and contribute to team success.
• Are motivated to build a long‑term career in tax and advisory.

• Fully funded ATT qualification, with progression to CTA.
• Structured CPD programme supported by experienced professionals.
• Ongoing coaching and exposure to technical experts and leadership.
• Clear progression pathway based on performance.

This role requires commitment, including study outside of working hours, but offers significant long‑term career opportunities.

• Working hours:
  
  37.15 hours per week.
• Hybrid working: 2 days from home (role dependent).

• 23 days holiday plus public holidays (increasing to 26 with service).
• Pension contributions above statutory minimum.
• On-site parking.

• Salary increases linked to exam success and progression.
• Clear progression pathway based on performance.

• Work with clients in high‑profile and dynamic industries.
• Gain exposure to complex, real‑world tax and financial challenges.
• Be part of a collaborative, supportive team culture.
• Build a career in a specialist and growing global business.
• Develop skills that go beyond traditional accountancy roles.

Your progression will be driven by your own ambition and commitment, supported by a business that invests heavily in its people.
